EMPTY CROSS OF JESUS PB

How did the most brutal form of execution ever devised turn into fashionable jewellery? Why mark a grave with a cross? What made Mel Gibson's film 'The Passion Of The Christ' so incredibly popular? This book explains why the cross is so important to people, but it does not stop there. Michael Green looks at the cross in the light of the amazing event that followed - the resurrection of Jesus from the dead - and so reveals the mysterious blend of weakness and strength that the cross and resurrection represent. The death of Jesus is still the centre of controversy. Michael Green writes for all those concerned to understand what God was doing through the cross, and what difference that can make to our lives today.
